Hello Henri,
In the case of chess, it is a discretized version of an obviously continuous game of war, so perhaps a continuous version might be made.
... I don't know if this could be a partial answer to your request, but a no-diagram chess puzzle appeared in December 1990 in the French "Europe-Échecs" magazine: White checkmates in 3 moves. In parentheses, the location of the pieces: White King (0,0) Black King (+5,0) White Rook (+14,-2) Black Pawn (-2,-4) White Knight (+4,+3) White Bishop (0,+5) To find the solution, you had to re-discretize in order to find the size and the orientation of the 8x8 board. Best, É.
